This book is dedicated to the memory of my father, Benjamin
Kurzban, an immigrant who taught me to love and appreciate
my country and my family, and to the memory of my mother,
Irene Kurzban, who taught all her children that the basic
human condition requires self respect and the desire to help
others. This book is also dedicated to the memory of Leonard
B. Boudin, who showed me the reason to practice law, and to
the memory of the Hon. Eugene P. Spellman, whose warmth
and sense of justice lit up his courtroom and his community.
